Stay & Play

·          Fun Activities for children 0-4 years

·          Have some fun

·          Meet new friends whilst developing your child’s physical, social and emotional skills

We offer a wide range of play equipment that provides opportunities for the child to explore and expand their understanding and is based on the principle of Continuous Provision.

We welcome and appreciate parent helpers. If you attend with your child and would like to help at anytime, we would be extremely grateful.

There are many ways in which you can help:
